Confab 2012 is live! Blog
Confab Is Over, But The Ideas Live On
Confab has come and gone for 2011. Cake was served. Sessions were attended. And tornado warnings were endured.
Now, we take to the streets (or our desks) to tackle content with a renewed vigor.
You are a Prodigious Set of Note-Takers
The volume of liveblogs and recaps from Confab is seriously impressive.
We offer our most sincere thanks for sharing your thoughtful notes and summaries. It’s especially satisfying to see Confab presentations distilled into these potent posts. (If this were a college course, we’d proudly be handing out “A” grades right now.)
If you missed a sessions or just want to compare/review notes, check out this list of posts from Confab attendees:
